Dan Schneider: Last News

Daniella Monet is backing up the claims that Nickelodeon sexualized its teen stars in a new report about the network.

Daniella Monet, who starred alongside Victoria Justice and Arianna Grande in Nickelodeon series “Victorious”, is looking back at the show with a critical eye.

Former Nickelodeon stars are speaking out against the prolific creator and producer Dan Schneider for allegedly forcing the young actors into 'sexualized' scenes.In a new report for Insider, the Victorious actress Daniella Monet, 33, claimed that a scene that she was uncomfortable with was left in the final cut of an episode despite her objections to the network.Although Monet doesn't solely blame Schneider, who was the creator, executive producer and a writer on Victorious, she also blamed Nickelodeon for allowed sexualized scenes to appear in its live-action shows and for inappropriate behavior to occur on set. Speaking out: Several actress, including Daniella Monet and Alexa Nikolas, claimed they were subjected to abuse and forced to film 'sexualized' scenes on Nickelodeon shows created, produced and written by Dan Schneider (pictured in 2015) in a new Insider exposéThe actress described reaching out to the network after she was forced to film a scene in which she applied lip gloss while eating a pickle, which she worried was too sexual to be broadcast on a kid-centric network. But Nickelodeon executives apparently sided with Schneider and the creative team over Monet, and the scene was included in the episode. She added that not only did the executives OK the scene, but its Standards and Practices division would have had to sign off on it as well.

The backlash continues. Daniella Monet opened up about feeling “sexualized” during her time on Victorious — and claimed Nickelodeon ignored her concerns.
